After watching several years of basketball, we've gradually observed how the sport has been severely tainted by the irresponsible actions of the pupeteers behind the scenes, who have been known for manipulating the game in order for some underappreciated teams to take hits against better marketed teams, which represent the source of income for the associates and executives administrating it all.
It has come to our attention that, starting from last season, the Orlando Magic has been the object of this "negligent mistakes" by the reffing crew, which have made detrimental calls, not just to the team, but to the end result of the sport itself, by altering the possible outcomes of plays and games in a non-accidental way. Proof of this is the way players like Dwight Howard have not been taken serious this season, getting called for dubitative fouls in plays where other players get the benefit of the doubt. This, without putting into evidence that star players get their calls their way every single time, whether it is out of respect, or out of malice.
This document's intention is for you, signee to make your nuisances to be heard, asking for one of two outcomes out of this:
1) The improval of reffing actions as a whole in aid of the game. We're not asking for a team or a player to get benefit calls in response to this, but for the reffing crew to be fair in their calling of games, making the game more of a sport and less of a marketing device to earn money, or...
2) The resignation of the persons involved, starting by that of NBA Commissioner David Stern, along those of the referees not qualified to do their job, because of their hidden agendas and conflicts of interests.

- The horrendous reffing is getting ridiculous. I don't mind bad reffing as long as it is consistent. But, numerous calls favor certain teams. Please stop ruining the NBA.

- I believe the NBA has changed for the worse and that the reffing job has become a joke. It is clearly evident that the star players get favortism from the referees. I agree to the petition 100\% Please Mr. Stern look into this situation or take one of the actions listed.

- The NBA is a mircocosm of the political landscape of America. The small-market teams represent the middle class.

- Please.... submit Rashard Lewis to routine drug tests while allowing the Boston Celtics the luxury of throwing opposing players around the court for the sake of "intensity"

- Dear Mr. Stern, I don't know if anyone though of this, but one way to clear up this misconception of inconsistent officiating by pairing referee's who have simular officiating styles together, which would allow the game to be called the same on both ends of the floor and players could easley adjust to the way the game is being called no matter what end of the floor they're on. Also I think you should consider assigning crews to work together for the entire year like the NFL does, this would make it easy on the ref's because they would get use to how their fellow crew calls the game which would produce a more consistent game calling.

- I believe a petition would get a little rise out of the NBA. They want it to be the best sport in the world, yet they want to favor those who pay the NBA bills. You don't see Tom Brady, or Alex Rodriquez, etc. get favorable calls.

- it really is terrible how games are so inconsistently called. The same play can happen twice, and one time its a foul the other time not. Did the officials really need to come out of lockout, I dont notice any difference.
